The expert travel team at Holidaycottages.co.uk have named the UK’s best walks to see autumn colour this year.
The team recommended a 7.5 mile circuit taking in Tintern Abbey and the Devil’s Pulpit in the Wye Valley.
A spokesperson said: “The incredible ruins of the 12th century Cistercian abbey are breathtaking whichever season they are visited in.
“However, in autumn while it is scattered with auburn leaves, it makes a truly superb sight to see.

“At 7.5 miles, this is a moderately difficult walk for experienced hikers or for beginners who want to push themselves a bit further.”
Tintern Abbey was founded in 1131 by Cistercian monks but fell into disrepair after the dissolution of the monasteries during the English Reformation.
The Devil’s Pulpit is a rocky limestone outcrop and viewing point jutting out from the cliffs above the River Wye.
